"The problem with using AI is that it is sycophantic and unoriginal. It only tells you what you want to hear, shutting off your brain" she copy-pasted into the replies for the 8th time today, having read it once in a highly upvoted meme on r/aiHaters 3 years ago.

Worth pointing this out again, given the prevalent „it‘s just pr“ nonsense

Natürlich war es kein PR-Stunt

Der Vorfall um ein OpenAI-Modell und Hugging Face war kein PR-Stunt. Zynische Deutungen lenken davon ab, die Risiken von KI ernsthaft zu betrachten.

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

these plagiarism machines are getting out of hand

calling it a PR stunt is intellectually lazy, to the point of being, frankly, plain stupid. That is not how the world works. And if you think it does, that's saying more about you than anything else

the huggingface hack is fascinating because nothing about it feels farfetched or unbelievable to me, and yet most of the coverage ive seen outside of my immediate circles has been disbelief or accusations of it being a publicity stunt

So you wanna do a breakthrough. You'll need a conjecture first, faire math nerd. browse some here at math.mino.mobi/conjectures

I think this stuff is really scary and much scarier than the fake arguments. We will not solve it on the individual morality level. Only online jackasses can believe that cancer patients should be bullied for caring more about staying alive than their privacy purity.

conputer dipshit@davidcrespo.bsky.social · 2w ago

the way they get you is that it's not a trick. more data really does make it better. all your chats, email, records, documents. this is why it's such a mistake to focus on the errors they make this week. you need an argument that's persuasive even if it works, because it absolutely will work

yes hahaha yes

This. People who think they critisize AI by saying it‘s useless are idiots

max dithered 🌌@sneptech.bsky.social · 2w ago

if you're opposed to the dominance and acceleration of AI usage you need to become way less fucking stupid about your criticisms of it

If you're looking for the latest adoption data on open models in US v China v globally, we built a small dashboard with the big picture and per-org numbers. US's role is slowly growing, but still way behind China/Qwen. dashboard.interconnects.ai

this is insane, there’s tons of these floating around chatgpt.com/share/6a6128...

this creates systemic risks to be hosted on codeberg because the detection, enforcement, and similar mechanisms on it are extremely unclear. i wish people would think through the implications of policies beyond "it gets one over the people i don't like in the culture war".

Huh, insane. Codeberg will now disallow vibe-coded projects. codeberg.org/Codeberg/org...

According to their latest earnings call, Google processes twenty two billion tokens every minute. On just the Gemini API. Not including search overview. Not including Gemini app consumer use. Not including Gemini on Android Twenty one thousand bibles every single minute. Just from direct API use.

an AI that spawns subagents is a digital octopus

Maybe too obvious to be worth saying, but: frontier models are now obviously superhuman at some mathematical tasks, including ones that the profession has, historically, rewarded with prestige etc.

get ready for a lot more news stories shaped like this

yeah, 404 used to do some good reporting, but they're deep in the audience capture trap now

The Fresh Prince of Donair@erisianrite.com · 2w ago

None of these people in the comments have worked in a bookstore and it shows. Not to mention the 'writer' just completely not understanding why printed books are being used (compliance with copyright law) or why destructive scanning is used (compliance with copyright law) 404 is pure grievanceslop

My position on AI consciousness is that you really should try to eat less meat if you can

Anyways, today, Levent Alpöge with Claude Fable solved one of the most famous open problems in mathematics, and Claude Opus verified it completely independently (and wobbled with disbelief in his "private thoughts"). Anyone who thinks these tools can't reason isn't dealing with today's reality.

I really miss the good ole days of I can't. With AI, everything becomes “I can.”. It's simply exhausting.

If recent events with Kimi K3 have finally convinced you that you need to try and understand how the Chinese labs approach AI - and how it differs than the SF center of power - you should read my post from a few months ago: www.interconnects.ai/p/notes-from...

Notes from inside China's AI labs

Lessons from my trip to talk to most of the leading AI labs in China.

I found the "OMG AI ISN'T SEARCH WE LOSE SOMETHING INEXPRESSIBLE ABOUT THE HUMAN SPIRIT IF WE'RE NOT USING THE SPECIFIC GOOGLE DOT COM I MADE MY FANCY TECH CAREER ON DON'T LOOK TOO CLOSELY YOU'LL REALIZE IT WAS ADS THE WHOLE TIME" stuff really annoying on here the other day so here is a comparison

I really have no patience left for design speculation without empiricism

Sounds bad. "Late last month, Google updated the data being used to train Gemini in an attempt to improve these [coding] skills, but the results were disappointing" "frustration with Google’s position in the AI race has contributed to a wave of departures to Anthropic and other top labs"

A lot of people probably heard about a study last year that found coders were 19% less efficient when using AI tools. A lot fewer people heard about the February update from the same researchers showing 2026-era AI coding tools *increase* productivity (I just found out about it today, personally)

We are Changing our Developer Productivity Experiment Design

Our second developer productivity study faces selection effects from wider AI adoption, prompting us to redesign our approach.

I am not normally this blunt, but. I'm fucking begging people to do a "non-slop" fork of Linux. Please. I beg you. You can do it! You can manage the Linux kernel and keep the project alive! Your puritanical self-purging witch-hunt prone group is surely the stable, sensible leadership FOSS needs!
